Those in their youth often find themselves wandering the world with the blessing of ignorance and naivety to the cruel world around them. Wearing their rose-colored glasses, the youth of the realm will see the world for its possibilities, rather than focusing heavily on the present state of mind and politics which seem to grow tense and more fragile day by day. In some cases, the world may be compared to a jungle, a forest plagued with danger that is not yet understood by youth because of their childish mindset.    Yet, like animals within a forest and birds which chirp in the trees, all chicks and babe’s will leave their mothers' nest in search of their own purpose in life - stepping into their role as an adult and taking up their roles within the society of the natural world. It is with this mindset, that the Princess Royal, Elena Casimira, will choose to

“Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all -   And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm -   I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me. ~ Emily Dickinson

celebrate her eighteenth name day in the theme of the wilderness, as she too will step out into the wilds of adulthood and take her place amongst her peers and family and will fulfill her role to her beloved Kingdom of Balian. Open to the public, guests are encouraged to attend dressed in the theme of an animal found within the wilderness, one that represents the guests personal characteristics and personality, while still maintaining appropriate attire for the event. Suitors are welcome to come and attend the celebration with the intent to speak with His Majesty King Alexander I of Balian before conversing with Her Highness, Princess Elena. Further details of the merriment and special invitations to those held close to the Princess will be explained below.

SOCIALIZING 

For all those in attendance, food and drink, along with many forms of entertainment will be provided. Guests are encouraged to mingle amongst one another and explain their reasoning for which animal they have chosen to attend as. Suitors who wish to speak with Princess Elena privately will be required to consult with His Majesty, the King or the Crown Prince Hadrian Casimir for permission. Upon arrival, guests should follow the proper etiquette of greeting Princess Elena prior to socializing, as Her Highness wishes to meet as many people in attendance as possible.

 

CELEBRATORY DANCING

After a great amount of socializing, guests will find that a shift in the music will indicate that it was time to take to the dance floor, the ballroom being used specifically for dancing during the evening. Akin to the etiquette of speaking with Her Highness privately, suitors and guests wishing to dance with Princess Elena will be required to speak with His Majesty the King or the Crown Prince Hadrian for permission prior. Food and drink will still be served during dancing and guests are encouraged to remain hydrated during the evening. 

 

THE EVENING COMPETITION 

Throughout the course of the evening, a competition will be held for those dressed in the most unique attire for the evening which best fits the theme of the event. Men and women will be judged separately and those who are chosen from the crowd as winners will be titled Prince and Princess of the Wild for the rest of the evening, along with a prize of their choosing within reason.

"I thought I had acted nice enough to warrant a invitation.." Murmured Henry to himself before beginning to digest the Balianite etiquette book for the 3rd time.
